• Next generation storage (DNA, glass) • Performance modeling and prediction for storage
• Programming models and compilers for storage
• Quality of service for storage
• Security and privacy of storage
• Storage reliability, erasure coding
• Storage systems for ML and applying ML to storage systems

Submission Instructions
Submissions must be no longer than five (5) two-column pages excluding references and should be submitted electronically via the submission form at https://hotstorage24.hotcrp.com/.
Indicating Paper Type. Authors must indicate one of two paper types in both the submission and on HotCRP: Position or Regular. Paper titles should be prefixed by their type in the submission. For example, "Position: XYZ". Position titles should explicitly state and argue for a position; the more interesting or forward-looking the position, the better the paper is a match for HotStorage. Position papers may also be used to put forward a vision for storage systems. Regular papers might contain a new and interesting result that is at an early stage and not yet ready for a conference submission.
Papers should be submitted electronically as a PDF. All text and figures must fit within a 7"x9" text block, centered on the page, using two columns with .33 inches of separation. The paper should be typeset using a 10-point font (Times New Roman or similar) with a 12-point (single-spaced) leading.
Please follow paper formatting instructions. The author kit, which contains the Latex style and template, is available here. Please ensure that your paper satisfies all the above requirements for content and formatting before submission; if you have a question about any of these issues, please email the program chairs chairs24@hotstorage.org.
